......................................................................................................................................
|
[by Peter Brake - 22 Jan 2005]
1st Pair : O.Howick &
A.Judd v E.Molson & F.Burgess 15/4 , 15/6 , 18/15 , 15/8
The first two games were
convincingly won by the Tonbridge pair 15/4 15/6 , due to
consistently good serving , many serves rolling out of the back wall
nick . When the Eton pair did get the into a rally they were either
forced into errors , or beaten by Howick’s hard hitting winners .
The third game was much closer , both pairs trading service runs ,
along with a few excellent rallies . Burgess serving first had a run
from 4-4 to 8 only to be taken out by his partner hitting a back
wall kill into the board . Molson then took the game to 12-4 before
making an unforced error to allow Tonbridge back into the game .
Eventually the game went to set 5 , Eton struggled their way to a
2-0 lead , but once Howick got into serve he powered his way through
the next 5 points to win the game 18/15 . Eton moved into an 8-2
lead in the fourth , but thoughts of a come back were shorted lived
when both Tonbridge players upped their game to close out the game
15/8 , and with it a convincing 4-0 home win .
2nd Pair : C.Hammond &
T.Blain v T.Redmayne &W.Hopton 10/15 , 15/12 , 0/15 , 9/15
A very good 3 games to 1
victory away from home for the Eton 2nd pair . Redmayne continued
his good run of form of reaching the final of the Renny Cup at
Queens with a good consistant performance , aided by Hopton who
moved up an age group due to injury .
Colts : A.Maltz & C.Trigg
v C.Stefanowicz & W.Murray 11/15 , 10/15 , 6/15
Junior-Colts : O.Durell &
A.Bird v F.Briance & T.Higson 15/12 , 17/15 , 15/17 , 9/15 , 15/5
